Lake Tekapo Lodge

On arrival the host welcomed us so nice. She showed us the very nice and spacious room with a breathtaking view to the lake. In the morning she made breakfast for the 6 guests. The lodge has only 3 rooms and the 6 guests sit together at a large table overlooking Lake Tekapo. The breakfast was very good with everything you could imagine, eggs, fresh fruit, müsli, joghurt toast. The host Stephanie provided us with a lot of helpful hints what to do and where to go for lunch or dinner. We definitely will come back.

We had a wonderful 2 night stay at Lake Tekapo lodge in March. The accommodation was beautiful, with an amazing view of Lake Tekapo. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast every morning with the other Guests. Stephanie is the most amazing host and provided such useful recommendations for the area and our onward journey. Thank you Simon and Sue.

Such a marvellous place - Stephanie is so welcoming and patient whilst explaining where everything is. The room is super & bathroom very clean and modern. We stayed all over NZ over a 4 week period and this was easily one of the best B&B's we came across. The residents lounge with wine, beer and reading chairs is a welcome addition that so many other places don't think of. It's a very quick walk into town & to the lake. Breakfast was a joy too.

Myself and my husband have just reluctantly left Lake Tekapo Lodge after a wonderful two night stay. Our hosts, Stephanie and Alistair were absolutely lovely, welcoming us into their home and making us feel very comfortable from the minute we walked in the door. Lake Tekapo Lodge is beautiful. The room we had was beautifully and comfortably decorated and we had doors leading to a patio area with the most stunning views. We enjoyed sitting there on an evening enjoying the peace and scenery. There is a gorgeous communal lounge with refreshments available which is a really lovely touch. The breakfasts were delicious and we really enjoyed the chats we had with our hosts and other guests at breakfast. This is a beautiful place to stay with extremely friendly, accommodating hosts and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and would hope to get back someday. We loved it here. Thank you Stephanie and Alistair. Karen and Bruce

This was simply the best accommodation on our 13 hotel road trip, Stephanie and Alistair were the perfect hosts in every way from the initial welcome to the breakfast and their in depth local knowledge, The views from the individual rooms and breakfast room are just stunning. Stephanie’s unique taste in art is apartment throughout the property which I enjoyed immensely, and she promised to leave me a particular sculpture that I admired (haha). We would definitely recommend that you stay here.

Myself and my wife spent two nights at Lake Tekapo Lodge. I can't speak too highly of our stay. Stephanie and her husband provide a superb welcoming environment where within a short time you feel totally at home. Our room was comfortable and spacious with a lovely view from our little terrace. There is a fascinating and eclectic collection of art throughout. Stephanie is extremely helpful with advice on the best local restaurants and options as to how to make the best off your visit. Breakfast was superb . Missing Lake Tekapo already. Graeme and Irene

Absolutely loved our stay with Stephanie at the Lake Tekapo lodge! We were greeted so warmly and shown round the modern, luxurious lodge by the welcoming and helpful Stephanie. The room was gorgeous with a delightful room of the lake, and was nice and warm as it was a cold day. The bathroom was spotless and had kitted out perfectly. The bed and robes were so comfortable. The rooms are all in one wing of the lodge, including a guest lounge with drinks and comfortable sofas for a cosy night in. The breakfast was delicious, with cold yoghurt/fruit/granola as well as cooked breakfast with perfectly poached eggs. Stephanie also gave us really helpful tips of what to get up to while we were there. If you're going to Tekapo stay here if you want a friendly, modern and luxurious trip.

We had a fabulous two night stay here. Our hosts Stephanie and Alistair were incredible-exceptionally kind, helpful, knowledgeable about the whole area and clearly passionate about what they do. Stephanie had already reserved us a table at a local restaurant for our first night without us even asking her to do so which made our lives very easy having driven a long way to get there. Our en suite accommodation was excellent-the best ensuite facilities we have had in any B and B with a fabulous shower and the bed was incredibly comfortable , giving us an excellent nights sleep. Each bedroom suite has its own outside terrace area with chairs to sit in and soak up the view over the lake. There is a wonderful lounge for guests to use with facilities to make hot and cold drinks and alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks available. We had a delicious breakfast each morning with views over lake Tekapo from the dining room that took your breath away. Two nights here was not long enough. It is such a warm , luxurious and welcoming home. This is an astonishingly good place to stay and I have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone visiting the area. Thank you so very much Stephanie and Alistair for making our stay so special .

After returning from our 5 week trip through New Zealand we can say that staying at Lake Tekapo lodge was definitely one of the great highlights of our trip. Stephanie and Alistair are wonderful, warm and welcoming hosts who gave generously of their time to answer our myriad of questions about New Zealand. They prepared wonderful breakfasts in the beautiful dining room overlooking stunning Lake Tekapo. Our room also had a beautiful view of the lake and the common room that all guest share is well stocked with beverages of all sorts as well as interesting reading materials about the country. Stephanie is very knowledgeable and also recommended places to hike and things to do for the rest of our trip.This is a wonderful place to enjoy the beauty of this area of New Zealand.
